Pakistan's cabinet on Wednesday approved the resumption of supplies to NATO troops through Pakistan after a suspension of more than seven months, DPA reported.
The shipments were discontinued in November after 24 Pakistani soldiers were killed by a NATO airstrike in the north-western tribal region along the Afghan border.
"The cabinet endorsed the decision of DCC [Defence Committee of the Cabinet] to reopen NATO supply routes and also appreciated the deliberations of the participants of the DCC," a government statement said.
The cabinet convened after senior political and military leaders agreed Tuesday to end the ban on supplies to international troops in landlocked Afghanistan.
